Home alone

January seems to have come and gone. I guess that is what happens when there is a baby in the house (or, rather, flat). This is my first day home alone with said baby who is 5 weeks old today, his Dad having gone out to do some temping. What exciting things could we possibly have got up to? Mainly sleeping (the baby anyway).

Christmas around the world

In the US our relatives have probably not been long up. In Birmingham and Yorkshire they are probably well into Christmas lunch. In New Zealand, its been over for some time. In Cambridge, we are, well, not doing much, but waiting the arrival of a different baby still. Its all a bit odd.

Finally on maternity leave...

...but did not envisage spending most of it waiting for, and trying to be patient on, unreliable snow-hindered buses.
